Annual Report April 2024 – March 2025

Disability Challengers | Company No: 4300724 | Registered Charity No: 1095134

CEO Report

I am pleased to share Challengers’ Annual Report and Accounts for 2024-25. A year in which our commitment to transforming lives through the power of play, and since taking up my position as Chief Executive Officer in 2022, has never felt more vital. Last September we launched our new 5-year strategy and as we enter the second year of Strategy 2024-2029, we have made strong progress in expanding our reach and strengthening the foundations on which our future work will depend.

At the heart of all that we do is our belief that play is not optional — it is fundamental, and our non-exclusion policy ensures that every child belongs. For over 45 years, Challengers has provided a range of fully inclusive play, leisure and early educational opportunities for disabled children and young people, aged 2- 18, across Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex and Greater London. Services include Pre-school and Play and Youth Schemes, our expanded 555 Service delivering urgent support to disabled young people aged 5-18 who are out of education, and The Hub, offering holistic support for families of disabled children. Services that have delivered thousands of hours of safe, joyful, inclusive play, connection, and support. We know that social isolation among disabled children and their families remains a serious concern: one that goes beyond physical spaces. Our work to support parent carers through mental health initiatives, to help families navigate systems, to offer free advice, workshops and family events has begun to shift the balance.

I owe deep thanks to our staff, volunteers, trustees, funders and every supporter. Your passion, kindness and belief in what Challengers stands for are the reason we can make real change. Together, as we look ahead, we will continue to challenge barriers, push for inclusion, and ensure that every disabled child or young person we serve has opportunities not just to be seen, but to belong, to grow, and to enjoy childhood fully. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Gennie Dearman, Chief Executive Officer of Challengers

Chair Report

The 2024-2025 financial year at Challengers has been as inspiring and remarkable as the last, and I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we have had at Challengers.

Against a backdrop of continuing financial constraints, with pressure on funding and fundraising amid an increased demand on our services, we launched our new 5-year strategy. An ambitious roadmap to grow our reach and the support we provide by 25%, but against which, already within our first year, we have made in-roads into achieving the bold targets set-out within.

The Board of Trustees supports the strategic ambitions set out in Challengers’ Strategy 2024-2029 and its role is to ensure that the charity is clear on its direction of travel within the strategy. It is the role of the Trustees to bring our external experience and insight into the organisation to help and shape the progress of that strategy. Our collective knowledge and experience enable us to scrutinise, challenge, and offer advice to the Senior Leadership Team. Serving as Chair of the Trustee Board continues to be a privilege, and as I bear witness to the highly committed dedication of Team Orange, I could not be prouder.

On behalf of myself and my fellow Trustees, I would like to thank Gennie Dearman and the Senior Leadership Team for their leadership, and despite the challenges have steered Team Orange with strength and purpose. Your unwavering commitment and resilience in the face of financial pressures and growing demand for our services has been nothing short of inspiring.

My thanks also to every member of Team Orange – you all continue to amaze me with your dedication, creativity, determination and deep passion for the children and families we support. I am immensely proud of the progress we have made and look forward to the year ahead, to achieving more strategic milestones and making a difference, together.

About Challengers

It’s been 46 years since Challengers started providing support for disabled children, young people and their families. Back in the 1970s there was very little on offer for disabled children. They were isolated, excluded and had nowhere to go to socialise and have fun. Thanks to our founders Colin Hassell and Dr Helen Foley MBE, Challengers was built in 1979 to change that. Last September we launched our new 5-year strategy. It comes at a pivotal moment – because while celebrating our heritage is important – the need for our work has never been greater.

Our vision

A world where all children and young people can play together freely.

Our mission

To transform the lives of disabled children, young people and their families through the power of play.

Our approach

The Challengers Approach is a set of five values which define our organisation, guiding our actions and decisions, and shaping our culture.

4

Strategy

We are now one year into our new 5-year strategy, with foundations firmly in place. Over the past twelve months our sessions at our Play and Youth centres have grown, re-opening a second site in Guildford; through The Hub we have connected with over 270 families who don't access our short breaks service, making sure they’re not left out of our community; piloted Stay and Play sessions, providing after school fun for the whole family; launched 555 Guildford, a new provision for children as young as five without a school place, successfully amplifying the voices of families in crisis with BBC coverage; and held our first annual family festival, Orange Aid.

This progress matters because demand continues to rise. Social isolation is widespread with approximately 70% of disabled young people experiencing chronic loneliness; families are being excluded from settings, simply because of the complexity of their child’s needs; and as much as 79% of families feel they're not getting the right support.

Our strategy sets ambitious yet essential goals to grow our reach and the support we provide by 25%. Providing more places to play; more chances for families to come together, to feel supported and less isolated; and more advocacy, to challenge the systemic exclusion too many children face.

The Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The Trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the Trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its stated purposes.

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Our impact at a glance

Our commitment to creating truly inclusive experiences for disabled children and their families is reflected in the impact of our services, and our Parent Carer Survey data clearly demonstrates how vital Challengers is to them.

The issues families are facing

What our parents say

51% of Challengers parent carers told us that they have been excluded from other settings due to their child’s disability, and worry that the lack of services available will reduce their child’s social interactions and friendships.

79% believe they don’t get the right level of support for their disabled child. This puts a huge strain on families, and 51% told us are worried about family breakdown as a result of this.

We provide a range of inclusive services to support families of disabled children, and many parents refer to Challengers as a lifeline.

While children and young people are enjoying social and play opportunities at Challengers, their families get vital respite from their demanding care responsibilities - helping to keep them strong and together.

Fundraising statement and conditions

At Challengers, our mission is to transform the lives of disabled children, young people and their families using the power of play. Achieving this mission is only possible through raising the necessary funds for the services we provide. The mission informs the fundraising choices we make as we strive to promote inclusion throughout our fundraising.

Despite the continued challenges of fundraising with the increase in the cost of living, we received £1,145k of voluntary income, up 8.6% from the previous financial year. This was in line with targets for the year.

Throughout the year, we also received the generous support of many local companies, individuals and community groups through donations, staff fundraising, events and street collections, among many other incredible contributions!

Our thanks go out to everyone who gave donations of their time and other resources to enable Challengers to provide vital support to disabled children and young people.

Volunteers are a vital part of #TeamOrange - in 2024-25 contributing just under 1,000 hours helping out at our Play and Youth schemes - from lending a hand to decorating projects; coming into the office and supporting our admin work; to being the face of Challengers at our many public events. We are grateful to everyone who has given up their time to make what we do possible.

7

Challengers remains committed to a fair and ethical approach to all our fundraising practices. We strive to build long-term relationships to grow a more sustainable approach to fundraising which will maximise return over the longer term. We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator, are signed up to the Fundraising Preference Service, and comply with Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice for the UK and our own Ethical Fundraising Policy and Vulnerable People Policy.

All our fundraising is carried out by our in-house fundraising team, alongside volunteers who are supported by us. Volunteers, whether acting as individuals, in the workplace or as community groups, receive information and guidance from us and we maintain regular contact to oversee their activities to ensure they comply with the Code of Fundraising Practice.

We do not work with Professional Fundraising Organisations to solicit donations, have a strict policy of never selling or passing on our supporters’ personal data for marketing purposes, and have never bought fundraising data from a third party. In the period 2024-25 we received no complaints about fundraising.

With thanks to all of our donors and supporters

Financial overview

The 2024/25 year reported a deficit of £31k across all funds. Unrestricted funds had a surplus of £34k, the restricted funds had a surplus of £8k and the designated funds had a deficit of £72k. The designated funds deficit relates to depreciation charges against assets acquired in previous years. The restricted funds surplus was a result of restricted income received in the current year that will be spent in future years, or was used to fund capital expenditure.

The unrestricted funds recorded a surplus as a result of increased income from Surrey local authority contracts, and increased fundraising income.

Reserves

Challengers’ reserves policy is to maintain free reserves of between 3 and 5 months expenditure, plus an additional £50k-£100k for remedial property repairs and maintenance. Due to seasonal changes in activity levels this will fluctuate throughout the year. However, free reserves should be maintained between £739k and £1,248k.

The main objective of the reserves policy is to deal with short term cashflow challenges to protect the long-term future of the charity. In addition, the trustees believe this level of reserve would allow a safe and sensible closure in the event that this was the only option. Reserves are reviewed monthly at the Finance and Risk subcommittee.

The free reserves level at year end was £593k, representing 2.6 months 2024/25 average operating expenditure.

Year-end designated funds stood at £2.56m, the residual value of this fund is required to support the long-term security of premises and other fixed assets to ensure the charity can meet its objectives.

Of this amount, £2.30m has been set aside for known future depreciation cost on buildings at our Farnham and Guildford centres over the next 50 years.

Risk

The Board’s risk appetite guides the risk management process. The Board is not seeking to eliminate risk as there is a recognition that it is necessary to accept the risks that cannot be mitigated in full or which fall beyond Challengers’ control. However, the Senior Leadership Team actively monitor and manage such risks to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that the charity is protected. Challengers have a robust risk monitoring process. Risks are ranked by the likelihood of occurrence and impact to the charity.

The Board consider that the principal challenges faced by Challengers, and the associated risks are the need to:

11

The Risk Register is reviewed on a monthly basis at the Finance and Risk meeting and in addition at the relevant Board meetings. The management of day-to-day operational risks is delegated to the Senior Leadership Team to proactively manage throughout the year.

The Board approves a comprehensive annual budget and plan for Challengers and the Board and its Committees monitor performance against these plans and budgets on a monthly basis. Material variances, together with any revised financial forecasts, are submitted regularly to the Finance Committee and to the Board.

The Board is satisfied that these systems, combined with internal financial controls and the reserves policy, will ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet the immediate needs of Challengers in the event of adverse conditions.

Going concern

The Trustees take financial governance seriously and each month consider the monthly finance reports, the cashflow and the organisational KPIs to ensure Challengers is meeting its charitable objectives and continue to do so in the foreseeable future.

The Board of Trustees agree that Challengers is a strong and viable going concern. The factors that lead to this conclusion are:

Demand for Challengers services

Remuneration

Challengers has developed a remuneration statement to provide a clear and transparent set of guidelines which demonstrate accountability and applies to all employees. During the 2024/25 year, Challengers continued as a Real Living Wage employer and committed to pay all staff at least the real living wage on an annual basis. The organisation does not offer an annual discretionary bonus scheme, nor does it offer a long-term incentive plan (LTIP).

The organisation has a series of salary bands in a structure that is fair and equitable. Job roles are mapped onto this structure. Salary bands are benchmarked with industry and local standards to ensure that they are fair as well as remove subjectivity to salary decisions. Each year we continue to monitor this structure and compare with competitors and other organisations.

Gender pay gap

Despite significant progress over the past two decades, a gender pay gap still exists in the UK. Encouragingly, it has continued to decline. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the gender pay gap for full-time employees in April 2024 stood at 7.0%, down from 7.5% in 2023. This represents a fall of approximately a quarter over the past decade.

The gender pay gap is notably higher among full-time employees aged 40 and over, while it is close to zero for those under 30.

At Challengers, our workforce is predominantly under the age of 40, which aligns with the lower national pay gap in this age group.

As a charity working in the care sector, we attract a large number of female employees, which is typical for our industry. However, we are pleased to report that we also attract a good number of male employees, particularly when compared to other organisations in the sector.

13

At Challengers, we enforce a strict pay structure which ensures that men and women are paid equally for the same role – this applies across office and scheme-based roles. We are committed to being a learning and equal opportunities organisation that invests in both men and women alike, keen to support them to be the very best they can be for the charity and for themselves.

For our operational staff hourly rates are based on the Real Living Wage. We pay this rate as a minimum hourly rate to all staff regardless of age and have committed to abide by the Real Living Wage in the future. In addition, service staff working on services within Greater London are paid a minimum rate of the London Living Wage.

The SLT provide regular reporting to the Trustees through sub-committee meetings and main board.

Trustee recruitment

Following recruitment, new Trustees will be allocated a ‘mentor’ from amongst the present Trustees and will undertake an induction programme under the control of the Chief Executive and the mentor. They will be given induction material to allow them to fully understand the charitable purpose of Challengers, its financial situation, its future plans and the current situation of the charity. The new Trustee will be encouraged to visit the centre when children are present and to attend at least one community-based project early on. All Trustees are welcome to attend any of the staff training sessions. The induction information provided to new Trustees is as follows:

Trustee responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also directors of Disability Challengers for the purposes of company law) set and monitor strategy and policies. The Trustees delegate authority to deliver strategy to the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Leadership Team with regular board meetings where reports are received on all the core activities of the charitable company.

The Trustees have established standing sub-groups each with its terms of reference for Finance, Audit & Risk; and Fundraising. They are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual reports and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

16

In so far as Trustees are aware:

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The Trustees’ annual report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime. Auditors Sayer Vincent LLP were re-appointed during the year to act as Challengers’ auditors.

The Trustees’ report was approved by the Trustees on 3 December 2025 and is signed on their behalf by:

Independent auditor’s report To the members of

Disability Challengers

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Disability Challengers (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

19

Independent auditor’s report To the members of

Disability Challengers

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on Disability Challengers’ ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

21

Independent auditor’s report To the members of Disability Challengers

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.

22

Independent auditor’s report To the members of Disability Challengers

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

23

Independent auditor’s report To the members of Disability Challengers

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
